Aromas of plums, rust and cedar with hints of dried meat follow through to a medium body, firm, chewy tannins and a medium finish. Refined and poised like a lovely Cannubi should be. A year or two will open this up. Better after 2020.
Revealing an open-knit and immediately welcoming personality, the Francesco Rinaldi & Figli 2015 Barolo Cannubi offers a good taste of that inner sunshine and warmth that so beautifully defines this vintage. The Cannubi vineyard is one of the first sites to ripen, and the wines tend to show enormous elegance and Nebbiolo fruit purity. This vintage is particularly successful in its showing of wild berry fruit, rose hip and chopped mint. The tannins are silky and fine.
